A caecal diaphragm in cystic fibrosis
No full textA right iliac fossa mass may be a difficult diagnostic problem in a patient with cystic fibrosis. We present a patient with such a mass who was thought to have a non-obstructing intussusception on clinical and radiological grounds. However, at laparotomy she was found to have a pathology not previously described in cystic fibrosis. She had a partial diaphragm almost blocking the lumen to her appendix. The differential diagnosis of a right iliac fossa mass is considered and the cause of her pathology discussed

No full textEstimating State-allocable Production Technologies When there are two States of Nature and State Allocations of Inputs are Unobserved.
No full textChambers and Quiggin (2000) have used state-contingent production theory to establish important results concerning economic behaviour in the presence of uncertainty, including problems of consumer choice, the theory of the firm, and principal-agent relationships. Empirical application of the state contingent approach has proved difficult, not least because most of the data needed for applying standard econometric methods are lost in unrealized states of the world. O’Donnell and Griffiths (2006) show how a restrictive type of state-contingent technology can be estimated in a finite mixtures framework. This paper shows how Bayesian methodology can be used to estimate more flexible types of state-contingent technologies.
Audio Interview with Mr. C.J. Rayner Whiteley
No full textAudio - Mr. Whiteley recounts the story of delivering the message of the flood of 1904. He took seventeen hours by horse to travel from Perryvale to Edmonton. Billy Loutit took the same message by foot arriving in Edmonton about the same time. Mr. Whiteley discusses early settlers, farming, homesteading and businesses. He has many anecdotes about life and people living in Athabasca at the start of the twentieth century. He freighted for ten years with the Hudson's Bay Company and also discusses early farming prices and technology extensivelyInformative Interview of Mr. C.J. Raymor Whitely In April 1961 on a Reel to Reel tape recorded onto cassette by R. Tanhas March 198

The Actors' Perceptions and Expectations of their Roles in BIM-based Collaboration
No full textThe inter-organisational collaboration with Building Information Modelling (BIM) is one of the hottest topics in construction sector nowadays. The implementation of BIM is a complex inter-organisational process, and the sharing of information among numerous actors from multi-disciplinary backgrounds may affect the actors’ role perception and performance. This study offers insights into the BIM roles of various actors by analysing a BIM-based project carried out by an integrated partnership across many tiers. The analysis identified inconsistencies between the actors' perceptions and their partners’ expectations of their BIM roles. Inconsistencies in BIM roles were more related to soft rather than hard (domain- or technical) skills. Mismatches were found in the architect's role, as it was deemed necessary to be more domain- and BIM-related, contrary to their perceptions. Likewise, the suppliers' role called for an enhanced BIM orientation. The paper concludes with set of suggestions for increasing the joint responsibility and supporting the multi-actor collaboration.Design & Construction ManagementSustainable Housing Transformatio
Statistical analysis of simultaneous monostatic and bistatic sea clutter at low grazing angles
No full textPresented is a statistical analysis of vertically-polarised bistatic sea clutter data, with bistatic angles ranging from 30° to 90°, compared with simultaneously-gathered monostatic clutter data. It is found that there is no significant change in the bistatic reflectivity compared to the monostatic except close to bistatic angles of 90°. It is found that the shape parameter of the K-distribution fitted to the clutter is significantly higher for the bistatic clutter than for the equivalent monostatic clutter.W.A. Al-Ashwal, C.J.

Strange Fellah! Review of Philip Butterss, An Unsentimental Bloke: The Life and Work of C.J. Dennis
No full textC.J. Dennis, author of The Songs of a Sentimental Bloke (1915), was once considered the unofficial poet laureate of Australia. Throughout his career he was erroneously conflated with his famous character 'the Bloke' in the public imagination. 'Many have imagined him as a sentimental bloke', argues Philip Butterss, 'an easygoing fellow with a naïve and slightly romantic view of the world'(1). Since three previous biographical works have the word 'sentimental' in the title, Butterss' decision to add the 'un' to 'sentimental' immediately signals his intention to examine the darker side of Dennis
